Nice pictures Doc E.
My wife & I also grouse hunt. We mainly hunt blue' s, we like the bigger birds & the country they live in is awesome. My wife & I have gone out three time this year for blues. We have been having some great hunting. I am also working with my 1-year & 3-month old golden retriever named Tana. She is work great & is always wanting to please.
Hope you can get your wife hooked like I got mine hooked?

Good luck hunting
